Hi Dear ,

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of nose congestion and cough which is due to upper respiratory tract infection and flu or common cold. Usually it takes 3 days for flu symptoms to go. I would suggest you to take few preventive measures such as you should take cough expectorants. You should take anti inflammatory and anti allergic medication. Take decongestants and mucolytic agents. Avoid cold carbonated and cold beverages. Take diet rich in vitamin B12. You should take antibiotics . You should get blood test and swab test done. If symptoms keeps on persisting visit ENT specialist once and get it examined. Start treatment after complete examination.

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
